We have published more than 2,000 maps in our series of Old Ordnance Survey Map reprints, some 300 of them in the London area. The maps are highly detailed. They are taken from the OS 1:2,500 (or 25 inch) maps and reduced to about 15 inches to the mile. They show streets with individual houses, tram tracks, railway tracks and even signals, factories, wharves and such details as fountains and water troughs. They will provide hours of fascination for historians and genealogists. The maps are neatly folded and each includes a specially written introduction to the area. Maps can be purchased on our On-line Mapshop where further information about titles is given. For other information and Prices, see Index Page.
Here are the details of maps for Hanger Hill & Park Royal:
We have published two versions of this map, showing how the area changed across the years.
The 1895 version is a somewhat empty map showing just how rural much of Middlesex was at the end of the 19th century, even though it includes parts of Ealing, Willesden, Acton and Hanwell parishes, and is only a mile from the great railway interchange at Willesden Junction. Features include Hanger Hill and a handful of large houses along Hanger Lane, the Grand Junction Water Works, Twyford Abbey, and several farms. By contrast, the 1935 version is filled with industry, including the western half of the Park Royal estate. A fascinating contrast.
An index map showing the areas covered by this and adjacent maps is available here. The map links up with London Sheets 45 Perivale to the west, 46 Willesden Jct to the east, and 57 Acton Town to the south.
